The ABC Councillor who previously apologized for his own role in spreading defamatory disinformation now implies nobody cares about the issue.
An insult to voters, and to our city.
We're going to evict them all in October.

Vancouver deserves better than Sim’s lies
The readiness of Mayor Ken Sim and Coun. Lenny Zhou to slander a colleague is far worse than any harebrained policy they might propose or past controversial decisions they have made.
Politicians like Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and Coun. Lenny Zhou who spread lies about a colleague for political gain undermine trust in our political system. They don't deserve our respect or votes, @adriennetanner.bsky.social writes.

'If ABC agrees': Urgent motion proposes to save Vancouver Car Free Days | Urbanized
In the wake of the revelation that Car Free Days would be cancelled in Vancouver this year, two councillors are hoping to save it.
“COPE warned that Ken Sim’s jacked-up permit fees are going to make community events more expensive - or stop them from happening at all. This is the impact of austerity."
Save Car Free Days!

Vancouver Car Free Days cancelled for 2026
A popular annual festival that saw Vancouver streets closed to traffic and opened to vendors, performers and crowds of pedestrians has been called off for 2026.
"Increasingly, the landscape for large-scale events, particularly community events, has been changing."
Ken Sim and ABC found $1 million for a sign and $2 million for fireworks after pushing through a brutal austerity Budget.
Surely we can save Car Free Days!

This isn't the first time that Ken Sim has been involved in a smear campaign against @seanorr.bsky.social. Sean's interview is worth a listen - for its honesty, grace, and concern for the public who are harmed by Sim's dirty tricks
IMO we need more humanity like Sean's in politics. Solidarity.

Trump’s attack on Iran violates UN rules Canada has agreed to uphold. It contradicts numerous values PM Carney claimed he supported in Davos. Endorsing illegality, violence, & destruction over dialogue and peaceful resolution is not what Canadians were promised, or support.

Vancouver council paves way for new school in Olympic Village
Vancouver city council voted Thursday night in favour of a move that will allow for an elementary school to be built in Olympic Village.
Olympic Village is finally getting its school.
It should not take decades to break ground on any promised amenities let alone a neighbourhood school.
No more delays. We need massive reinvestments in social infrastructure in neighbourhoods across Vancouver.

ABC ran on supporting safe supply and harm reduction policies that save lives when they were elected in 2022 - now they’re trying to scapegoat harm reduction policies to win points with their far-right base.
